a total of 4 people have now been executed in connection with the protests and more have been sentenced to death. is it known? how many? thanks for holding me here. at the present moment, more than 10 people are sentenced, but we are, we have prepared an updated list of more than 100 people who are facing charges punishable by that. and as you know, thousands have been arrested and, and, and there is no transparency in iran. so we basically don't know how far the other cases have come. so numerous people already sentence, but campaigners are particularly worried about the fate of 2 of those men mohammed. but o'conny and mohamed how bad lu they have been sentenced to death. and as we understand, they've exhausted their legal recourse. what can you tell us about them?

it does try to iranian authorities have announced that the death sentence of my medical lou and mamma, brutal fanny. i've been upheld by the supreme court. it means that they can be executed at any time, but we should keep in mind that we don't have the rule of law and the due process in iran. so international reactions, pressure can still save. my mama was one mamma group on his lives. but again, we know also that the running authorities need to execute need to implement this step, and it is to spread fear into society because they haven't managed to control the process. now, about 4 months, they're still continuing. you mentioned that western pressure could possibly prevent these men from being executed, but what exactly would it take on the part of western governments?

and 1st i would like to emphasize that these sponsorships by the parliamentarians that started in germany and then across the board, it helps actually we know that the running authorities, they were planning to have math execution. and i think that the reason why they haven't managed has been these attention, but we need also practical steps. i think a practical consequence. a consequence of the recent to execution could be putting his slimy revolutionary guard court i. r g c, on his conscience lease, or on the terrorist list, and put artist sanctions on all entities. and there the supremely, there are alley, harmony. these are action that iran and authority will, ne, and practical consequences are important for them. now was ma mazda miriam, all her dom director of iran,

human rights. thank you so much for your time. thank you. well, police in western germany have arrested a person suspected of plotting what they are calling an islamist motivated attack. prosecutors have identified the suspect as a 32 year old iranian citizen. investigators searched his residence in the city of castro alcove abroad area. around the side was cordoned off. police also detained. another suspect during the operation of favorable. and d, w. political correspondent, catherine lancaster has been following the story for us and joins me in the studio for the latest. so, catherine, we understand this was a very large police operation, and it had been planned for some time. what more can you tell us? so yes, the local interior minister said that they had a serious tip, and this is why they still went in at night and local media reports that that

tip might have come through for an intelligence service is actually a local authorities. didn't know that they were looking for poisonous substances, which is also why they went in with those like big anti contamination suits. both men were suspected of having obtained actually royce in end tonight. so you mentioned these 2 dangerous chemicals, or if they had managed to carry out this attack, how bad might have been. so what we now know is that there was no rise in or cyanide found in the apartment or according to me, did reports that just have come out. but what we do know is that if an attack, as you say, would have been carried out with rising or cyanide, it probably would have been lethal. both substances are classified as chemical weapons, so they can kill you with a small quantity only. they are very, very,

very lethal. d w political correspondent, catherine langa is falling the story for us. catherine, thank you very much. let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world. the 1st international travelers have started to arrive in china after the country lifted its mandatory quarantine requirement. the 1st international flight arrived at shanghai from new zealand carrying more than 280 passengers. travellers still need to show proof of a negative coven. 19 task taken within 48 hours. prior to departure. to metro trains have collided in a tunnel in mexico city, leaving at least one person dead and dozens injured. one of the train drivers is in critical condition. first responders pulled the injured out of the crash side, rescuing for people trapped on one section. authorities have not yet specified the cause of the crash. russia has bombed several regions in eastern ukraine overnight
